Team news
After Classico, only seven rounds will be left to play. This means, with Benfica boasting a slim one point lead, the league is in the hands of the defending champions.
The hosts, given their impressive home record, are the safest bet. On top of that, Rui Vitoria’s side have been boosted by the return of Fejsa from injury.
He is tipped to start in midfield, with Jonas and Mitroglou are expected to lead Befica’s attack. A tough task awaits those two forwards, as Porto boasts this season’s best defense.
Porto are likely to start with Tiquinho Soares up front. The Brazilian, signed only in January, has been a hit with the Dragons, scoring nine goals in as many games.
Felipe and Marcano will be tasked with stopping the hosts from scoring, whilst Yacine Brahimi, Óliver Torres, and André André are all tipped to start.
